Hello CSXENGINEER1...I'm glad to see you've survived all of the 'bufoonery' of your system of late...run-away's, head-ons, and assorted rear-ender's. However, my BNSF is starting to catch up to your outfit a bit, unfortunately. I'm currently a 'Hostler Pilot/Utility in Seattle...running 'light-pwr' in and around the Seattle Terminal. When we have a chance to zip it up to the 8th notch with the Dash-9's, or the EMD 70 or 80's, there is no comparison. The 9's are total junk. The dynamic's are'nt anything to write home about either! The computers on the 9's also are overheating occassionally due to the air-conditioning set up for the computers. And here I thought they were for me! Did you know that is one of the many reasons that the UP went back to the old style 'consoles' on their unit's? Older style 'cut-in/cut-out, end changing etc? Let's face it, EMD's whether light, or pulling the actual train are far and away tops over the 4 strokers. I remember the Alco's, and like you, I'm hopeing they are onething that never comes back!...Take Care, and be safe...Hommie
